The Lord

*** LMAO => Didn’t happen. They suddenly have an inhouse guy that know’s seo, *sigh* (timewasters = wtf? no ranking for you!)

** w00t: This one’s jumping the gun slightly but I am almost certain it’s going to happen. I will know tomorrow sometime.

Looks like I may have just achieved my 1st Goal for 2008: SEO Consulting,
3/ Find large client in competitive profitable niche with good seo knowledge

Requirements in my mind were:

- Profitable Niche
- Top 10 Hitwise rating
- Large generic domain portfolio
- Easy to deal with/open minded

Well I solved all those and a lot more. How about a very scary portfolio of very nice names, a real niche with real competition. This one’s going to really help get some of these other goals happening faster. So welcome to 2008, the year of luck.

Also thanks to my special friend!! many happy returns

Open ID has just been launched. Basically it’s a password management system for the web. While I’d love to go sign up and report back, I just don’t trust Yahoo with that sort of data. Nuff said I think.

Michael Gilmour has just completed part 6, Do parking companies swallow clicks? in his series on Domain Standards. I have really enjoyed this series and it’s definately worth a read for anyone new to the domain industry.

It would be good if Michael outed more details like what parking companies do what and used more sensational titles in his posts (would lead to more exposure), ie. ‘Google allow parking companies commit click fraud’ and seed the story into the Google hungry SEO crowd?

It’s great to see Michael doing this series, it’s right on the money and a very important goal.
